Whenever a coach with Todd Mayfield’s background and history of success takes over a new team, you’re gonna wanna watch to see how successful he is and how quickly.

As we detailed on Friday in our article titled Club Spotlight Part 1 of 2: Q&A with Todd Mayfield as He Enters 40 Years of Coaching, Now Running the Lady Dukes Southeast 16U Team (August 22, 2025), Mayfield—who lives abouts 90 minutes north of Atlanta—is not only back on the field coaching, he’s assembled a team that looks to be one of the best at the 16U level.

In our Part 1 spotlight, Coach Todd noted how the Lady Dukes Southeast team was recently finalized and now has 16 standout players.

The team was assembled, he told us, “all by word of mouth,” and while winning is the ultimate goal, the primary focus is “about teaching the game” with the expectation the victories will follow.

Over his four decades in softball, Mayfield has helped develop hundreds of players who would go on to compete at the college level; hit ’04 group with the East Cobb Bullets alone would see players like McKaela Walker (LSU), Lottie Landmesser (Ohio State), Jayden Gailey (Georgia Tech), Tyler Ellison (Georgia) and many others go on to play collegiate ball.

The newly assembled club team will travel coast to coast this Fall and next Summer in events from Florida and Georgia in the East to PGF Nationals on the West Coast to close out its 2025-26 run.

What sets Aubrey apart from her desire to excel in everything she is involved in.  Whether it’s hitting, catching or base running.  Aubrey has always been the youngest player on each of her travel ball teams she has played for, including her 7a school ball team.  As a freshman, she became the starting varsity catcher and helped the team to win the 2025 State Championship in Alabama.

Keilyn works hard in every aspect of her life.  She maintains a 4.0 while playing softball and making sure to put in the extra work.  Several mornings a week she is at the gym consistently building strength to better herself on the field.  She is fast, can track a ball, and a beast at the plate, and will continue to work to keep it that way.

Gianna Deverna, 3B/P, 2028
Gianna is a power hitter who also hits for average and is not afraid to use her plate discipline to draw a walk.  She’s a fierce competitor who works hard off the field so she can excel in those moments when the game is on the line.  She loves the game, it shows in how she approaches all facets of the game.

Chloe Hurd, IF, 2028
Chloe is an elite level infielder, with a fundamental sound glove.  She’s got quick hands and a cannon of an arm, making tough plays look easy.  At the plate, she has line drive swing with power, hitting gap to gap. Chloe is a steady competitor who earned a starting spot at second base as a freshman on her 2024 GHSA State Championship team. Fundamentally sound and athletic, Chloe quickly became a player we could rely on both offensively and defensively. She was also ranked No. 35 in the 2028 HOT 100 that came out earlier this year.

Lexi Kelley, P, 2027
Lexi is a very competitive team player.  She loves to have the ball in her hands in difficult situations.  From Alabaster, Ala., she doesn’t fold under pressure, and she loves to compete at the highest level.  Just a beast on the mound and does not get intimidated in big games. She throws in the upper 60’s and played last summer on the Lady Dukes 18U – Lamar team. Lexi can also play some outfield and hit.

Jazlene is a very dedicated young lady who is disciplined and thrives to do her best.  She is athletic, competitive and a hard worker.  She is the type of athlete who pushes herself to improve in every aspect of the game.

Janell Robertson, OF, 2027
Janell is a highly athletic softball player who uses her speed to impact the game on both sides of the ball.  Defensively, she is a strong outfielder with great range, tracking down the balls in the gabs and making tough plays look routine.  At the plate, she shows outstanding discipline, rarely chasing pitches. With a high contact rate, she is a reliable offensive presence.

Corrine Robinson, C, 2028
Corrine loves the intensity of the game, the strategy behind each pitch, and the leadership role she plays as a catcher.  She thrives under pressure, enjoys pushing herself to improve, and values the strong bond she shares with her teammates.  Being on the field gives her purposes, confidence, and the chance to lead while doing what she loves most: competing.

Addie, who is from Atlanta, is the speedster on the team.  Both offensively and defensively, she is able to utilize her speed to make amazing plays and has a high softball IQ.  She is a huge difference maker on the team.  As a speedy slap hitter, she has multiple offensive strategies, whether it’s hitting away, soft slapping, power slapping or bunting she’s always throwing the defense off!  Once she’s on the base path, the defense better watch out, as she will definitely tear up the bases.  Defensive, she is a quick on her toes and incredibly agile, with a cannon of an arm, consistently making amazing plays at MIF or even at catcher.

Allie Wood, MIF, 2027
Allie is not just a standout on the ball field, but also in the classroom with a 4.5 GPA.  Her high IQ in the classroom also translates to the softball field where she is a middle infielder with a lefty bat that can slap hit and spray line drives to the outfield.  Allie is looking to pursue a degree in Political Science and attend law school. From Wake Forest, N.C., she has Ivy League schools among others looking at her.
